In 1986, John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Cam Kennedy created one of the most prescient characters the pages of 2000 AD have ever seen — Kenny Who?, the would-be artist who found that the world of Mega-City One comics isn't quite what he'd hoped. What was a satire about comics publishing in the 1980s now reads as a searing indictment of the way that A.I. poses a threat to not just comics but the whole...

Molch-R sits down with him to discuss his career, the promise he made to his fath...

Created by 2000 AD artists Brett Ewins & Steve Dillon, it was the anarchic, irreverent and hugely influential 'mature' comic that ran from 1988 to 1995 and changed the face of the industry — from featuring Alan Martin & Jamie Hewlett's wildly-popular 'Tank Girl' and early work by Philip Bond, Glyn Dillon, D'Israeli, and Nick Abadzis, to sparking a whole host of imitators. On this episode o...

Revolution, rebellion, and moral comeuppance — there's a theme running through a lot of the stories in the latest issues of 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine , and it ain't exactly pro-billionaire!
